Subdownloader does not start

[InterAnt]

Hello there.

I am using Linux Mint Debian Edition 2.6.39-2-686-pae.
I have downloaded SubDownloader from https://launchpad.net/subdownloader. After that, I've installed the program by doing:

sudo dpkg -i subdownloader_2.0.14-1_all.deb

The installation goes well:

Code: Select all
    Selecting previously deselected package subdownloader.
    (Reading database ... 144915 files and directories currently installed.)
    Unpacking subdownloader (from subdownloader_2.0.14-1_all.deb) ...
    Setting up subdownloader (2.0.14-1) ...
    Processing triggers for man-db ...
    Processing triggers for gnome-menus ...
    Processing triggers for desktop-file-utils ...
    Processing triggers for menu ...

Now, when I start subdownloader from shell, it gives me this error:

Code: Select all
    /usr/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/kaa/metadata/disc/cdrom.py:37: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
      import md5
    Traceback (most recent call last):
      File "/usr/bin/subdownloader", line 42, in <module>
        import gui.main
      File "/usr/share/subdownloader/gui/main.py", line 9, in <module>
        from PyQt4 import QtCore, QtGui
    ImportError: No module named PyQt4

I also tried with this the one provided on http://packages.debian.org/sid/all/subdownloader/download.

What can it be? I also have a VM with Ubuntu with the same version of Subdownloader and it works fine.

You just need to install the package "python-qt4" and it should work.

I installed subdownloader via Synaptic on Ubuntu and have the same problem.
It seems to be a packaging problem as a dependency definition would solve it and eliminate frustration of the average user.

    import gui.main
  File "/usr/share/pyshared/subdownloader/gui/main.py", line 9, in <module>
